IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CHURN AND BUTTER-WORKER.

TO ALL WHOM ITVMAYCONCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL H. SCRIBNER, of Stowe, in the county of Lamcille, and State of Vermont, have vinvented a. new and improved Combined Churn and ButterlVorker; and 1I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description of the same, s'uiicient to enable others skilled in the art'to which myinvention appertains to understand and make the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which make part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine when used as a butter-worker, one part of the box being cut away to expose the interior.

Figure 2 is a similar view ofthe machine when used as a churn.

Figure 3 is an end elevation of thedasher used for working butter, and

Figure is an end elevation of the dasher used for churning.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding partslin the several tigures.

The nature of my inventionconsists in combining with a churn a butter-worker, by using different and peculiarly-constructed dashers.

A may represent the sc mici'rcular box of the machine, provided with a lid B, the handle b of which has an air-passage, e. The dasher C, figs. 2 and 4, consists of the two crosses d dl, forming. each four arms d. Between each parallel two of these arpis are two cross-pieces, cl3 d3, sc t diagonally to the centre of the dasher, each four of these cross-pieces heingin line with andparallel to each other. At the centre of its outer surface thccross d is provided with a plate, c, forming one bearing of the dasher on the point e. The other cross is provided with a. square l1ole,f,. to receive the square end of the shaft a, to which is attached a handle, g, and which passes through the end of the box A, being held in position and forming the second bearing for the dasher C by having a groove cut on its circumference, into which lits a scmicircular clamp, 7i, pivoted to the end of the box A, and` sliding vertically in the staple z'. J is an outlet, to allow the milk to be drawn oil` after the churning.: Fig. 1 shows the churn when used as a butter-worker. The outer edges of two of the ends of each cross lc 7c of the dasher D are curved, `as shown at Zin'g. 3, and'betwcen each two of these ends are held beaters m m, the outer edge of which is slightly curved and partially cut away, as shown at fm. Between each two of the other ends are held rollers n n., which have theirbearings in block o, the smaller ends of which slide in grooves plof the ends ofthe cross D, so as to enable the rollers to be placed nearer to or farther from the bottom of the churn, and

are securely held in position by set-screws. This dasher D has similar bearings as the dasher C. Y

rlhe opera-tion of my machine is as follows: The cream being placed within the box A, the dasher C is piaced within the same, and the shaft a and handle gare attached. On revolving the dasher C the cross-pieces d3 cl3 cut into the cream, and forcing it between the cross-pieces, allow it to fall over the same over a considerable space of air, which causes the cream to bubble and keeps it in constant agitation. When the churning is done, the buttermilk is drawn off through the outlet .l, and the dasher D substituted for dasher C. When the dasher D is revolved, the beaters m gather and tia-tten the butter on the bottom of the box A, and the resistance is lessened as their edges are cut away, as shown at m', which allow air, fluid, or lumps to pass under at one side to be operated on by the other beater 'm. The rollers n u nress. thevbutter and force out of it any lluid still remaining, which is drained of through the outlet J.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The churndasher C, constructed of 'the crosses cl d1, provided with cross-pieces d3 d3 set diagonally te the centre, each four of the same being in line with and parallel to each other, constructed and arranged as described.

2. The butter-worker dasher D, constructed of the cross k c, beaters m m., and adjustable rollers it n, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
